Don't blog around here no more--or face suspension! At least, that's what students at Pope John XIII Regional High School were told by the school's administration. Officially, the ban is intended to protect kids from "terrists and them thar predtors," but we all know it's just to protect the ego and, er, good reputation of the faculty and administrators. Supposedly some free speech folks are getting riled up about it, but I don't see how the school will be able to put the clamp down on all these students using commercial blogging services. How would they know who was who?
